"She's currently dead and her name is.... Luciana" She said and Emma's eyes widened.
"Y...You m...mean Chelsea's mum?" Emma stuttered as she moved back again.
"Yes! She's your mum" She said with a smirk
"But how. I thought her daughter died"
"Her daughter is dead. Your dad stole you away from her 20 years ago and replaced you with our dead child. She was so devastated that she went to a bar and hooked up with a guy when she was drunk. After a month, she found out she was pregnant and she told the guy about it. He decided to marry her. They eventually fell in love with each other. She gave birth that year to another girl. Her husband died of heart attack when the girl was 16 years so she took care of her. The day Chelsea was taken to the hospital, her daughter was rushed to the hospital too but she died on the way" Lenny said.
"Aunty Luciana really suffered a lot and you guys were a part of it" Emma muttered wiping her tears.
"Yeah. Too bad you didn't get to meet her before she died" Lenny said with that same smirk playing on her lips.
Emma folded her fist tightly before running upstairs. She entered her room and grabbed her luggage packing all her things and some memories of her dad.
When she was done, she zipped the luggage and went downstairs.
"You're leaving?" Lenny asked.
"What does it look like?" Emma asked coldly.
"This is the greatest day of my entire life. Finally the witch is leaving my house" She said dramatically while dancing and Emma felt a little bit hurt.
"You're the worst mum a girl can ever have. You knew that I wasn't yours since and instead of you to tell me and let me be with my real human mum, I had to suffer with a witch. I hate you so much mum, I hate you and for this pain you caused me, yours will be double. In case you forgot, Karma is real and when it strikes you back, I will be at your front laughing at you" Emma said and dragged her luggage with her out of the hell hole she called a house.
Lenny felt a bit sad at first before smiling.
"She's finally gone!!!" She screamed falling on the couch happily.
★★ CHELSEA'S MANSION:9PM ★★
Chelsea was seen on the couch watching her favorite show, 'My Demon'. She laughed when Park Bok-gyu did something funny.
The door to the sitting room opened and the security walked in.
"Ma'am. Emma is here and she said she needs to see you urgently" He said and Emma paused the show.
"How many times did I tell you that you don't need my approval before letting my friends in?" Chelsea asked.
"They might be pretending to be your friend and actually be your enemy. I can't let anyone hurt you ma'am. That's the promise every worker in this house made with your mum before she died. Please let us fulfill it" The man said and Chelsea sighed.
"Alright. Let her in" She said with a smile and he bowed before leaving.
The door opened again and Emma walked in with her luggage.
"Emma" Chelsea called and rushed to her giving her a tight hug which she reciprocated. She broke the hug afterwards and smiled.
"What brings you here?" Chelsea asked with a small smile and Emma broke down in tears.
"Chelsea. I'm not my mum's real daughter" She started and Chelsea's eyes widened.
"Then who is?" She asked.
"Luciana" Emma replied and Chelsea froze on her spot.
"But her daughter is dead" Chelsea said remembering when Luciana was crying over her daughter one night like that.
Emma started explaining everything to her, leaving no details out.
"So she really lost a child" Chelsea said and Emma nodded.
Chelsea bit her lips sadly.
"I'll transfer every property given to me to your name tomorrow Emma" Chelsea said and Emma's eyes widened.
"What? Why?!"
"You're the real daughter not me, I'm adopted and all these doesn't belong to me" Chelsea said wiping the tears but more were still pouring.
"The moment you do that, forget the fact we're friends" She said and Chelsea looked at her.
"Aunty Luciana was the one who registered all her properties and money in your name not you right?" Emma asked and she nodded.
"You didn't force her or threaten her yeah?" She asked again and Chelsea shook her head negatively.
"Then everything is yours. I will just live in the house with you and be your sister. That'll be enough for me" She said.
"But you're her daughter. You're supposed to have money and all her properties"
"That's not what I need. I need you to be a sister for me right now. All these material things doesn't matter to me and it never did" She said and Chelsea hugged her.
"You didn't have to ask. I'm already your sister. Even though I've been wanting to be your sister for a very long time" Chelsea said and broke the hug.
Emma chuckled.
"But, whatever you need, I mean anything, tell me. If you need me to send you 1 billion, a car, anything at all, just let me know. Your big sister gat this" Chelsea said and Emma chuckled before hitting her head.
"Ouch" Chelsea winced rubbing her head.
"We're age mates. You're not my big sister, you're my average sister" Emma said and Chelsea laughed.
"Is there something like average sister?" She asked admist her laugh and Emma laughed too.
"Maybe, maybe not" She said and Chelsea smiled.
"Lemme take you to your room. It's getting late and we need to sleep" Chelsea said and Emma rolled her eyes at her.
"I'm not a baby, I'll sleep whenever... let's go and sleep" She said instead when she saw the glare Chelsea gave her.
"Good decision" Chelsea said and carried Emma's luggage as they went upstairs.
★
They entered Luciana's room and Emma gasped.
"Wow. So beautiful" Emma said.
She saw a painting brush and board. One of the things she loved doing.
She rushed there and sat on the stool there. She carried the brush and put it on color red before drawing an apple on the board.
"You like painting?"
"Did you forget? I love painting so much. I only stopped cos of my m...because of aunty Lenny" Emma said with a smile.
"Same with mum. She loved painting. I guess you guys really have lots in common" Chelsea said with a small smile.
"Only painting, that's not a lot" Emma said as she turned to Chelsea.
"Good night" Chelsea said with a smile.
"Good night"
Chelsea smiled and dropped her luggage before leaving the room closing the door behind her.
★★
Emma opened her eyes.
She gasped when she saw everywhere white with lots of beautiful flowers.
She stood up slowly and looked around.
"Where am I?" She asked.
A bright light emanated and she used her hands to cover her eyes.
When she felt like the light reduced, she opened them again and gasped when she saw Luciana staring at her.
She had a smile on her face and she was claded in all white.
"Aunty Luciana" She called and Luciana walked to her.
"I'm your mum so call me mum" She said and Emma raised a brow.
"I know everything that's happening even with the fact that I'm up here" She said and Emma nodded.
"Mum" She called and broke down in tears.
"Why did you leave mum. You didn't even allow me to love you as my mum. You didn't allow me to experience the love from my real mother" She cried as she spoke.
"I'm sorry dear. If I could come back to the world, I would have but I can't" Luciana said and Emma kept crying.
She raised her thumb to her face and wiped the tears shocking her.
"I thought...."
"I pleaded to have the ability to hold you when I see you" She answered the question Emma wanted to ask.
"Emma. My dear. Please do me this favor"
"What is it?" Emma asked.
"I want you to love your sister a whole lot. She needs enough love cos of what happened to her before. I saw when she was yelling at me as to why I left her. Why I didn't take her with me. I was pained when I saw her crying cos of me but I was relieved a bit when I saw Angelo with her, comforting her. Never for once hate your sister" She said and Emma nodded repeatedly.
"I love her too much to hate her" Emma muttered.
"One more thing, you guys should go to the mall tomorrow. Get yourself enough clothes, shoes, anything. Make sure Chelsea buys a lot of things cos she hasn't spent the money I gave her except when she needed the money for a project. Let her buy enough, I'll be watching you" She said and Emma laughed.
"I will do as you say my queen" Emma said and bowed slightly making Luciana laugh.
"I'm so happy you made me laugh. It's time you go" She said and Emma smiled.
"I love you mum. I know we never had any interactions on earth but I want you to know that I love you. I mean it"
"I love you too Emma. A whole lot" She said and Emma hugged her tightly.
She reciprocated the hug.
★★ THE NEXT MORNING: 6AM ★★
Emma woke up and smiled.
"It was a dream yet I felt like it was real" Emma muttered then remembered something.
She got up from bed hurriedly and ran out of the room immediately.
She ran into Chelsea's room and jumped on her bed making Chelsea sprang up from her sleep.
"What the hell?!" She asked holding her chest.
Emma was kneeling on the bed close to her waist. Chelsea relaxed her back on the bed rest when she saw it was Emma.
"Let's go to the mall" She muttered and Chelsea's eyes widened.
